7 Amazing Fat Burning HIIT Workouts

For many of us, we have the desire to keep ourselves fit, lose those ghastly excess pounds and enjoy good health.

But we are faced nowadays with a more than active lifestyle, where we need to handle our duties at home and at work every day.

You need to prepare breakfast and the lunch packs for the kids.

And you’re late to submit reports to your boss.

Don’t forget you have to pick up the kids after the soccer or swimming class.

For those reading and living this, I feel you…

So, are you forced to say that you cannot keep fit because you are too busy or you cannot lose weight as you do not have enough time?

I will say this to you: You do not have to spend 2 hours at the gym, no need for a grueling 1 hour of spinning class or Zumba to keep yourselves fit or shed weight.

A HIIT workout is ideal to fit your busy lifestyle and helps you burn fat fast!

So, what is HIIT, you ask? It means High-Intensity Interval Training, which basically translates into short bursts of high-intensity exercises, followed by low intense recovery periods.

For example, you can run at a fast intense pace for 30 seconds and reduce your pace to a slow walk for 30 seconds or so to recover and start again.

HIIT allows you to benefit from a longer duration workout in less time and provides you with a plethora of other benefits as well:

1. HIIT can be done anywhere, whether at your house or apartment, at a hotel, and does not require equipment to do so.
2. It is perfect to manage your time, for example, you can do a short workout in the early morning before your kids wake up.
3. You will lose almost 30% more fat with a HIIT workout compared to a moderate-intensity workout, according to a 2019 study from the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
4. Your metabolic rate is higher and your body will still be burning fat hours after a HIIT workout
5. HIIT can reduce your heart rate and blood pressure as well as your blood sugar (for those who have diabetes)
